Eby avoids responding to push for a new northern B.C. oil pipeline
- Premier David Eby has consistently avoided giving a clear response regarding his stance on an oil pipeline extending from Alberta to British Columbia amid ongoing discussions.
- The federal Oil Tanker Moratorium Act, enacted in 2019, prohibits oil tankers from loading or unloading along B.C.'s North Coast, maintaining the ban.
- Alberta Premier Danielle Smith reported active talks with pipeline companies aiming to propose a project, while Eby emphasized no pipeline project currently exists.
- Eby expressed frustration that the discussion has centered largely on a project without an active proponent and encouraged directing attention toward initiatives that are already supported and ready to proceed.
- Eby’s government supports the tanker ban and prioritizes approximately $50 billion in ongoing resource projects in B.C., suggesting little immediate prospect for a pipeline.
